What of death?

Question

what of death?

Answer 1

Death

It falls upon you when you least expect it.

It takes the ones you love the most.

When you want it to come down and take you too, it never listens.

When you cry your self to sleep that night, it laughs at your tears.

Death is the one thing that can take away all the things you hold most valuable to your heart.

Death took my love away from me.

Answer 2

These lines from a poet may answer your query on Death :

Death and the Traveller Fire

    DEATH

Flame that (Fire who) invadest my empire of sorrow wordless and sombre,

    Arrow of azure light, golden-winged barbed with delight,

Who was it aimed thee into my (the) crucified Soul that forever

    Passions and beats in the womb of a universe built for its tomb?

I who am Death and live in the boundless cavern of Nature (Matter),

    I am Death who cannot die. A Shadow of Eternity,-

Vainly I throb in the stars that err through the void without feature,

    Scintillant forms in a Nought vast without life, without thought.

.........................................

Fire that travellest from immortality, spark of the Timeless,

    Why hast thou come to my night, unbearable Idol of Light,

Ah, from what happier universe strayedst thou kindling my torpor?

    Pass, 0 spirit of Light, now perturb not my vastness of Night.

              --  Death and the Traveller Fire   -   Sri  Aurobindo.
